After more than 1.8 million face-offs among dozens of candidates, Shepard barely pulled ahead of Chief, winning by a mere 344 votes, also edging out Garrus, Cortana and The Arbiter, among others.

Shepard won in a close race that was likely determined by anti-Chief attack ads paid for by the Mothers Who Need You to Clean Up Your Room. IGN approached Shepard for a comment, but his statement was unable to be heard from underneath the pile of rubble on top of him. Chief, meanwhile, has not been contacted as IGN has been unable to obtain his real name or a picture of his face.
